Manchester Man Charged With Breaking And Entering In Massachusetts

SOUTHWICK, MASS. — A Manchester man who is a suspect in two breaking and entering incidents in Suffield was arrested early Wednesday after breaking into a Massachusetts restaurant, police said.

Adam Nadeau, 33, was charged with felony breaking and entering for allegedly breaking into Crabby Joe's Bar & Grill in Southwick, police said. Nadeau has numerous criminal convictions in Connecticut and is currently facing charges of burglary and larceny out of Cheshire, according to court records.

Police said that officers responded to Crabby Joe's on Congamond Road, just over the state border, about 3:25 a.m. after they received a report of a suspicious vehicle parked behind the restaurant. Police found lights on inside the restaurant and an open window with the screen pried off.

The officers then found a suspect, later identified as Nadeau, dressed all in black and crouching in the dark on the lower deck of the building, police said. The suspect surrendered and was placed under arrest.

Police said that Nadeau was involved in two breaking and entering incidents in Suffield before he made his way to Southwick.

Nadeau appeared in court in Massachusetts on Wednesday, police said. His next scheduled court date on the Connecticut charges is Aug. 7.
